John Koblin of the New York Observer writes Tuesday that Conde Nast Portfolio‘s choice of American Apparel CEO Dov Charney resulted in weak sales at newsstands.
“The November issue sold 19,000 copies on the newsstand, the same as Portfolio‘s previous two issues in October and September, where Toll Brothers CEO Bob Toll and Jeff Zucker were on the cover, respectively, according to the ABC Rapid Report. The magazine did better with its summer issues: The August cover, of Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo, sold 23,000 issues, and the July cover, of Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, sold 28,000 copies.
“We imagine the December/January issue, which finally confronted the business world’s 9/11 with a Michael Lewis cover story, should draw the best off the newsstand this year.”
